EDITORS COMMENTS
The Emergence of Kaushiki, a captivating folio from the Devimahatmya or Glory of the Goddess, dates back to the 1750s or earlier. This exquisite work of art, hailing from the Guler region in Himachal Pradesh, India, showcases the emergence of Kaushiki, a young and radiant goddess. The opaque watercolor, embellished with gold and silver on paper, depicts Kaushiki appearing on a hilltop, encircled by a crowd of people, both men and women, who seem to be encouraging her with uplifted hands. The Devimahatmya is a popular Hindu text based on the Markandeya Purana, which recounts the glories of the Goddess Durga and her various forms. This folio is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of India and South East Asia during the 18th century. The intricate details in the drawing, from the undulating hills and the tranquil water bodies to the intricate ornamentation on the goddess and her devotees, are a feast for the eyes. The use of vibrant colors and the contrast between the opaque and gold and silver elements add to the richness and depth of the artwork. The scene is set against a backdrop of a serene landscape, with a stone hill in the background, and the Goddess Kaushiki, a young and beautiful woman, standing atop it. Her emergence is a symbol of hope, courage, and encouragement, and her appearance is said to have inspired countless devotees throughout history. This folio from the Devimahatmya is a precious addition to the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), showcasing the artistic and cultural heritage of India and South East Asia.
